Zena Marshall was
born in Nairobi, Kenya, and made her film debut in London in the same
film Roger Moore made his – Gabriel Pascal’s
Caesar And Cleopatra in 1945.

Many film roles ensued,
including Miranda, Good Time Girl, The Lost People, Helter Skelter,
So Long At The Fair (with Dirk Bogarde), Morning
Departure, Three Cases Of Murder, Crosstrap and then, in 1962, played
the part of Miss Taro in Dr No opposite Sean Connery – and conspired
to send 007 to a cliff-top death, all too soon.

Zena’s subsequent
film roles include The Switch and Those Magbnificent Men
In Their Flying Machines.

Along with stage work, she has also punctuated her film career with
work on classic tv series such as Danger Man and The Invisible
Man.

Over forty-years on however, it is for her role in Dr
No that she remains
best remembered!
